About Life in the Arctic north

A close encounter with nature

I’m so excited (and I just can’t hide it)! I just came in from two freezing hours with my scouts (aged 12-15) in the forest, and we’ve had the great fortune (sarcasm) of being dumped on with snow again. Now there’s about 1-2 inches out in the forest again. Anyway, we spent the evening competing with building fires and some other stuff – all organised by some of the kids, but it was the walk home that was so exciting. Just as we’re turning off a gravel road onto a path in the forest a hare comes shooting out in front of us, like a rocket straight through the fence and across a little pasture outside our scout cottage. It made us all jump as it was so dark, but then suddenly a beautiful fox came after the hare! It looked a bit panic stricken when it saw first the fence, and then us, so it set off down the gravel road instead. How awesome is that!? I love living so close to nature!

You know, those days really don’t have to be over! You live in the boonies/the sticks/in the middle of nowhere – you could run into a moose if you just went out at dusk!!! We should do that some time, you know.

Oooh! Loved loved loved those days of my life – I too live close to nature but have absolutely no reason to go out in the freezing cold at night! Apart from seeing foxes and nature in action so to speak – but it’s a rare treat!

you know why i hate blogging? because yours looks so awesome and organised and interesting and me? well, me it takes forever just to load a pic (god help me if i need to adjust after loading!)…
keep up the good work Terander!
